A group of young friends set out on a carefree diving trip in the South Pacific, chasing rumors of a sunken World War II wreck filled with lost cargo. Their adventure takes a deadly turn when they’re ambushed by armed pirates and forced aboard an abandoned military vessel adrift at sea—the SS Ourang Medan. The ship is a rotting labyrinth of rusted corridors and sealed holds, its decks littered with the remains of a crew that died in terror decades earlier. As night falls, the friends begin to experience disturbing visions: loved ones turning hostile, corridors shifting impossibly, and enemies appearing where allies once stood. Panic spreads. Trust fractures. And every decision becomes suspect.
